| BOOK is to provide the Archi- 
tect with a concise work of refer- 

ence, giving practical and accurate in- 


formation concerning standard wiring 
devices required in modern buildings. 


This subject is divided into two 
sections. Dimensional and other data, 
and specification clauses covering each 
type of wiring device, are given on 
ages latoml. and 26) to, 29" A 
series of dwelling rooms, adequately 
equipped for future electrical needs, 
are shown in perspective and plan 
on pages 18 to 20. 


° ¢ o 


Letting well enough alone has 
never been the working policy of 
the Hubbell organization. Its appreci- 
ation of the future needs of the indus- 
try, and consistent improvements since 
1893, have resulted in the development 
of a comprehensive line of electrical 
wiring devices and specialties with 
standard mechanisms and interchange- 
able features greatly simplifying the 
work of Architect and Contractor. 


Many of the mechanisms originat- 
ing in this organization have become 
standard throughout the industry. 


Long before its need was generally 
recognized, Hubbell produced the Pull 
Socket. The first Separable Attach- 
ment Plug, consisting of a threaded 
Base and bladed Cap, was a Hubbell 
invention; and the Cap with flat brass 
blades fitting narrow slots in the plug 
base or in wall receptacle, was another 
advancement which is now standard. 
The wide use of two types of caps, one 
with its blades arranged in tandem 
and the other with parallel blades, 
brought forth another Hubbell im- 
provement: the receptacle with two 
T-shaped slots, arranged to take 
either cap; and this is now the uni- 
versally adopted Convenience Outlet 
of today. 


In considering Hubbell Electrical 
Wiring Devices, therefore, the Archi- 
tect is assured of a standard line, com- 
pletely fulfilling modern electrical 
needs, interchangeable throughout, 
and embodying every improvement.

Single Convenience Outlet 


This type of Wall Receptacle is called 
a Convenience Outlet because it pro- 
vides a convenient electrical connection 
for the operation of appliances. It con- 
sists of a shallow body setting flush with 
the wall surface, and presenting two 
T-shaped openings, or ~Te-Slots”. 
These give access to double (phosphor- 
bronze) contact springs occupying in- 


dividual contact chambers, which makes 
poor contact or short circuit impossible. 
Electrical contact is made by merely 
“plugging in’ the blades of the attach- 
ment plug cap wired to the appliance 
cord. 

Capacity: 10 Amperes at 250 Volts 
Brass plates may be rectangular or 
round, as shown. 


Duplex Convenience Outlet

it provides two independent but iden-

Convenience Outlet with Lift Cover Plates 


Plates having lift covers were for- 
merly used with receptacles designed to 
accommodate threaded plugs. The cover 
afforded some protection from dust, and 
concealed the exposed contacts. 

For locations where a concealed Out- 
let is required this type of plate is de- 
sirable. It affords the convenience of 
Hubbell Te-Slots, with none of the 


dangers of exposed contacts. Plates 
are of three styles: No. 6801 is made 
of stamped brass, with a single hinge 
door; No. 6897 has a self-closing spring 
hinge door, but in other respects is the 
same as No. 6801; and No. 5580 is 
machined solid brass, with double hinge 
door, allowing cover to swing back in 
line with the plate. 


Pilates for Convenience Outlets 


Standard finish for Convenience Out- 
let Plates is brush-brass. Special fin- 
ishes may be furnished on request. 

The plates are manufactured for 
single receptacles, or in horizontal gangs 
for two, three, and four outlets. Plates 
in vertical gangs can be furnished 
in solid brass. 


Single and Duplex Convenience 
Outlet plates are made of struck-up 
metal or milled from solid brass. Lift 
Cover Plates for Single Outlets are 
struck-up from the same gauge metal 
for the single-hinge type, and milled 
from solid brass for the double-hinge 
type. 


Combination Brass Plates 


Two-gang combination plates, com- 
prising switch and receptacle openings, 
or 10-Ampere and 20-Ampere receptacle 
openings, can be had in struck-up brass, 
.060-inch thick. Plates:A, B, D, G, H,

Mechanical Refinements 


OGGLE SWITCHES are coming 

into wide favor in this country. 
Their simple operation, handsome ap- 
pearance, and sturdy utility have been 
quickly recognized by architects and 
builders, who have used them for 
every type of residence, as well as for 
public and commercial buildings. 


Resulting from experiments and tests 
covering a number of years, Hubbell 
De Luxe Toggle Flush Switches com- 
bine many exclusive features. 


Impact is the force used to make 
and break the circuit. The toggle 
arm merely compresses and guides a 
spring, which operates the switch mech- 
anism instantly. There can be no 
binding, or burned contacts. 


HUBBELL WIRING DEVICES 
for the Home 


For this reason it requires merely 
a flip of the fingers or a movement 
of the elbow to turn the current off 
or on. 


The switch plate is fastened to the 
body by means of two brass screws, 
which provide a positive ground con- 
nection, as required by the Under- 
writers. 

Hubbell De Luxe Toggle Switches are 
furnished for 250 Volt service in Single 
Pole (5 Ampere), Double Pole, (10 and 
20 Amperes); Three-Way (5 Ampere), 
Four-Way, (2 Ampere). 

Plates are brush brass finish unless 
otherwise specified. They may be fur- 
nished single, or in gangs of two, three, 
and four. (See page 5.)

Electrical Outlet and Wall Switch Equipment 
That Best Meets Modern Needs 


ITHIN the last decade elec- 

tricity has become a vital factor 
to our health, comfort, and happiness. 
It may well be said to have practically 
revolutionized our mode of living. 


In planning the wiring equipment for 
a home built today, the architect faces 
the task of providing electrical conven- 
ience for tomorrow's needs. If progress 
during the next ten years is as rapid 
as it has been since 1913, this problem 
assumes a new importance and merits 


considerable study. 


The home that is wired for lighting 
only has started with a severe handi- 
cap. It is in fact inadequately equip- 
ped for lighting in that no provision 
is made for the operation of portable 
lamps; and the use of the vacuum 
cleaner or any of the common every- 
day appliances, is fraught with consider- 
able inconvenience and often danger. 


In many sections of the country the 
local power companies, business and 
professional men, and manufacturers, 
have combined in instituting advertis- 
ing campaigns which have greatly 
stimulated public interest in “The Elec- 
tric Home’’, not only in those localities 


HUBBELL WIRING DEVICES 
for the Home 


but throughout the land. The public 
is rapidly appreciating the fact that 
proper electrical outlet facilities intro- 
duce new labor-saving appliances, ade- 
quate heat comfort, artistic lighting ef- 
fects, and a host of present day necessi- 
ties which a few years ago were practi- 
cally undreamed of. 


A client with only a hazy notion that 
he wants the electric wiring “done 
right’, in actual usage as time goes on, 
may demand an enormous amount of 
electrical flexibility. The architect's 
problem is too often one of meeting 
these hazy notions with a thoroughly 
workable system, standardized through- 
out, and offering every convenience and 
safety for future as well as present 
needs—and doing it all within the ap- 
propriation. 


It is here that we are prepared to be 
of assistance. 


Our policy of steady improvement 
has resulted in this complete line of 
Wiring Devices, designed to fulfill every 
socket, outlet, and switch requirement 
in modern buildings for many years to 
come. It is standard throughout; in 
fact many of its once exclusive features 


HUBBELL WIRING DEVICES 19 


have become standard with the trade. 
Its parts are interchangeable. It is 
built to standard electrical capacities, 
and every item is approved by the Fire 
Underwriters. 

In the pages which follow we have 
endeavored to do two things; first, sug- 
gest the electric wiring equipment need- 
ful for each room, and secondly, to 
avoid any feeling that the home here 
We have, 
if anything, indicated less devices than 


illustrated is a “mansion.” 


would probably be installed, our point 
being to indicate the type of outlet 
which might best fill the need, leaving 
it to the Architect to apply these sug- 
gestions to his own problems. 

It has been necessary in these draw- 
ings to enlarge the equipment some- 
what, in order that it might be readily 
seen. In actual practice the devices 
can be made inconspicuous by their 
location, and by means of special plates 
finished to blend with the decorations.

The Dining Room 


HE Dining Room is very sus-

units directly over the table give way 
to small candle brackets at either end

being left to wax candles. 

Architects find the solution to this 
problem in Elexits. These “Places for 
Lights’ (See Page 15) make it possible 
to provide a standard outlet in the ceil- 
ing or side wall to which a unit may be 
connected at any time.

Fhe bie Double T Slots 


HERE are many locations where an additional 

light might occasionally be required. Because 
of the expense entailed, or because of specialized 
application, the necessary wiring and fixture can- 
not always be included in the plan. 

Such a condition is fully met by installing, at the 
nearest available lighting fixture, a Hubbell Pull 
Socket Current Tap, commonly known as a Fixture 
Te-Tap. This consists of a standard Brass Shell 
Pull Socket, with 14 or 3%-inch shell cap which 
screws onto the fixture tube, or with pendant cap 
for use with a drop cord. In addition to its func- 
tion as a Pull Socket it has a side outlet with Te- 
Slots into which may be plugged the parallel or 
tandem blades of a standard attachment plug cap, wired to the cord of any 
lamp or electrical appliance. 

A Hubbell Fixture Te-Tap may be used wherever the brass shell socket would 
be specified.
